The holiday season is nearly here, with October being Halloween month, then the fast slide into November/December.

Justin Bieber and Boyz II Men have revealed that the name of their Christmas collaboration - called "Falalalala," a classic chorus from "Deck the Halls."

The song will appear on Bieber's upcoming holiday album full of his original songs. 

“He thought we’d be perfect for it,” BIIM singer Shawn Stockman told MTV News. “And we went in and locked in.”

Boyz II Men’s Wanya Morris talked about how he met Bieber: “We met him in the hotel, at the Le Montrose, in LA and the dude, he had a cast on at the time,” Morris said. “And he stepped up and said, ‘Oh my God! Boyz II Men, you’re my favorite group!’ And we’re like, ‘Oh, OK,’ and at the time, we didn’t know who he was. He was a new dude.”

Morris added, “And the next thing you know, he’s huge. And I’m like, ‘That’s the same guy!’”

Justin was schooled on Boyz II Men’s songs, except for ‘I’ll Make Love to You’ -  bit too racy according to Justin's mother.

“He told us his mom didn’t want him to sing ‘I’ll Make Love to You,’ so he’d sneak and go sing it somewhere,” Morris said. “It’s also good to know we’ve influenced such a good artist. It’s something that makes us feel we’ve accomplished [something and] we’re doing our job, [that] a guy so young and so into his craft [is] influenced by three guys from Philadelphia that love to sing.”
